Time-checks for games.-A clock to be set going at will to register and time games of billiards &c. is provided with a circle C of 32 graduations outside the hour and minute circle, and inside the hour circle is a small circle D of 4 graduations s u bdivided into quarters. A large hand E is provided for the circle C, and a small hand for the dial D. A lever F, held in a piece d actuated by a spring e, is joined by a rod G to a lever H, a projection I on which runs into one of three notches J in a disc K. By moving the lever F to the right the projection I is withdrawn from the notch J, and at the same time a stop-rod M on a lever N is raised and frees the balance roller L, and the clock is started. The lever F can be maintained to the right by a spring f and screw lock g. The disc K is fixed on the axle of the minute-hand, so that the notches J correspond to periods of 20 minutes. The projection I is kept raised between every two notches by a support 0 composed of two parts, placed one at the front and one at the back of the disc K. The front part of the support is operated as a cam by one of three pins P adjusted so that the support is freed and brought to its former position by a spring O<11> at the moment when a notch J is below the projection I. The clock then stops and sounds a bell, or continues to run, according as the lever F was withdrawn to the left, or held to the right in the original movement. Toothed gearing is provided so that each graduation of the circle C and of the dial D corresponds to 24 hours. In taking a reading of the clock, the reading of the circle C multiplied by 24 and added to the reading of the hour and minute hands gives the duration of play in hours and minutes. Whether or not 12 hours should be added to the reading of the hour-hand depends on whether the hand of the dial D is before or past the half of a graduation.
